The God of love and Life

by Margaret E Potter


       John 3:16   For God so loved the world that He gave His one & only Son,
that whoever believes in Him shall not perish t have eternal life.

       John 10:10  The thief comes only to steal , kill & destroy. I came that
they (you !) may have life & have it more abundantly. 1 John 4:16b  
God is Love & he who abides in love abides in God & God in Him.
 
        We who are God's children must imitate & emulate our Heavenly Father & be
Jesus to the world around us. Remember Jesus came "that none should perish , but
all should come to the saving knowledge & to repentance  " 2 Peter 3:9.
  while it is true that we are all born sinners, just the mere fact that we are born
is proof of His incredible Love ! Under the microscope it has ben observed that at
the moment of the conception of a human life there is a sudden flash of light !
That is Father God breathing life-a living soul-into this tiny new life !  And
He has a wonderful plan & purpose for that life ! Despite or innate tendency toward
selfishness & sin, Jesus , who came into this world to shed His precious life's
blood for all our sakes is ready to embrace that life & make him or her His very
own ! His promises are yes & amen ! and apart from Him our true life's purpose
given by Father God ! Once we were all sinners in need of the Savior. That is why
we should all have a burden for the lost as we were  once lost ourselves ! Where would
any of us be today if someone hadn't told us ? I'm certain this is the ultimate
meaning of loving one's neighbor as one's self (Mark 12:31 ) !
​
       If God & His Love & the Person of Jesus Christ & the Holy Spirit truly dwells within
us , it should be our desire too, that none should perish, but come to everlasting life
in Him. that is why Jesus came to the Earth He created & laid down His Life for all our
sakes !  
 
​        I praise & thank you Lord Jesus Christ, My Savior & my King ! Amen
